Guardians top the Mets

Toronto, OHSports

Pete Alonso made headlines by hitting his 251st career home run Monday, bringing him closer to the New York Mets franchise record set by Darryl Strawberry. Unfortunately for the Mets, the Cleveland Guardians secured a 7-6 victory in 10 innings after initially leading by five runs. Gabriel Arias sparked the Guardians' comeback with a 440-foot, three-run homer during a crucial sixth inning. Alonso's performance included a timely RBI single in the eighth that tied the game, but the Mets faltered in the 10th when a fielding error allowed the winning run to score. Cade Smith played a critical role in the ninth, striking out Alonso and ending the threat.

Manaea pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs, while Cecconi struck out six in six innings. The Mets face the Guardians again today, with Clay Holmes taking the mound. Alonso's struggles as a designated hitter this season, batting just . 218, highlight the challenges he faces.
